If they were in Saint Origin World, Fang Yun wouldn't hide it. However, they were in Saint Burial Valley, where danger lurked everywhere. If he revealed that he was focusing on the Analects of Confucius, the demons and barbarians would definitely be on guard when using the Holy Word Grand Art.
It was better to be safe than sorry.
However, Yi Zhishi smiled and said, "Fang Zhenguo's aura is faintly discernible, sometimes condensing and sometimes dispersing. Standing on top of the emperor's corpse, he felt as if he was standing at the peak. This is the path of a saint. He has successfully mastered the Analects of Confucius."
"Oh?" The group of great scholars was even more surprised.
Faintly discernible, there was the meaning of moderation. Condensing was to cultivate oneself, dispersing was to pacify others. Sometimes condensing and sometimes dispersing was to cultivate oneself and pacify others. These were the limits of what great scholars could do.
The Analects of Confucius was a book that recorded the opinions of Confucius and his disciples. Even though the Book of Changes was said to be the head of all scriptures, in many people's eyes, the Analects of Confucius was the head of all the scriptures of Confucianism. This was because it truly recorded the path to becoming a saint. It was far more precious than the other scriptures.
However, what made everyone surprised was that Fang Yun actually managed to master the Analects of Confucius. This was extremely rare in the human race.
Generally speaking, one would first focus on a Half-saint scripture, then a Sub-Holy scripture, and finally a scripture related to Confucius. Because it took a long time, only old scholars would be able to master the Analects of Confucius.
The Analects of Confucius originated from Confucius, and the real copy of this book had great power. It was very dangerous for young scholars to focus on it directly.
Even Yi Zhishi, who was known as a great scholar of scriptures, followed the order of Half-saint's work, Quasi-saint's work, and finally Confucius's work.
Now, not only did Fang Yun manage to master the Analects of Confucius, but he also clearly had great results. This was confirmed by Yi Zhishi, which made the great scholars quite surprised.
Zong Wenxiong looked at Fang Yun and carefully sensed Fang Yun's aura and power. He felt even more uncomfortable. Fang Yun's poetry was good enough, but he also displayed great battle strength. Now, even his scripture realm was so high that it was almost impossible to find any weakness.
Xi Luan was overjoyed and said, "Fang Xusheng hid it so well! In the past, Fang Xusheng's literary talent and martial arts skills were obvious to all. His only shortcoming was the study of scriptures. Everyone thought that Fang Xusheng's study of scriptures would be a matter of twenty or thirty years later. Who would have thought that he would have such achievements now? This is truly worthy of celebration! "
Li Zhenggang smiled and said, "Actually, when I discovered that Fang Xusheng had entered the Third Realm, I was worried. Now that Fang Xusheng has mastered the Analects of Confucius, he is naturally not worried about his realm being unstable. Even if there are flaws, they can be suppressed by reciting the Analects of Confucius. "
Yi Zhishi looked deeply into Fang Yun's eyes and slowly said, "Not only is he successful in his studies, Fang Xusheng has probably already begun to write commentaries for the Analects of Confucius. He might even be able to write commentaries for the Analects of Confucius. Furthermore, he is quite successful."
"What?"
Everyone was shocked. Even the Star Demon Barbarian had a look of disbelief on his face.
An explanation of the original copy of the All Saints Scripture as a note.
For example, when Zuo Qiuming wrote commentaries for the Spring and Autumn Annals, it was called the Zuo Family Biography of the Spring and Autumn Annals, which was abbreviated as the Zuo Family Biography.
Books that explained the Analects of Confucius were called commentaries.
Books that explained the Zuo Family Biography were called commentaries, such as the Zuo Family Biography of the Spring and Autumn Annals of Justice.
Everyone thought that Fang Yun had only studied the Analects of Confucius and its related commentaries and commentaries. They did not expect that Fang Yun had already started writing. Even if he had started writing, they thought that Fang Yun would at most write commentaries. However, from Yi Zhishi's words, it seemed that Fang Yun might directly write commentaries for the Analects of Confucius.
The essence of writing commentaries for the Analects of Confucius was to explain Kong Sheng's words and actions. It was a statement of his own! It was to practice the Confucian sacred path!
Not to mention those ordinary Confucian scholars, even the great masters of Confucian classics and the saints would not dare to do so in their early twenties!
It was not a matter of ability or talent, but a lack of accumulation.
Whether it was the accumulation of knowledge, the accumulation of life experience, or the accumulation of vision, they all needed time to accumulate step by step. Even King Wen of Zhou and Kong Sheng had to accumulate enough knowledge in their later years before they could amaze the world with a single brilliant feat and become a Saint.
How could Fang Yun do this?
Zong Wenxiong's expression was stiff as he slowly said, "In the Doctrine of the Mean, Zi Si Zi has three knowledge and three actions. The first knowledge is' born with knowledge ', the second knowledge is' learned with knowledge ', and the last knowledge is' trapped with knowledge '. The three actions are 'walk with peace', 'walk with benefits', and 'walk with reluctance'. Kong Sheng himself said that he could not reach the realm of 'born with knowledge', but he only learned with knowledge. It seems that Fang Xusheng was born with knowledge. "
The group of Confucian scholars did not know how to refute this.
The three knowledge and three actions were one of the systems that Confucian scholars used to evaluate people.
Being born with knowledge was the ideal state. A Connate Saint would be born with knowledge of everything. However, such a person had never appeared before. The reason why Confucius said that this was the highest level was to encourage students and prevent them from being complacent.
Learning with knowledge was Kong Sheng's evaluation of himself. Through unremitting effort, one could achieve success in learning and achieve wisdom. Initiative was the core of learning with knowledge.
The last was' trapped with knowledge '. When one encountered a personal difficulty or realized that one was lacking, one had no choice but to learn. Only in the end would one realize that this was inferior.
Among the three actions, 'walk with peace' was to do it with peace of mind. The extended meaning was to follow one's heart and not rely on external factors. One would take the initiative to do it and practice it.
'Walking with benefits' was to do it because of external temptations, such as fame and fortune. It was slightly worse than walking with peace, but it still had the intention to take the initiative.
'Walking with reluctance' was to do it when one had no other choice. It was almost like being forced and had very little initiative.
However, the Doctrine of the Mean concluded that whether one was born with knowledge, learned with knowledge, or trapped with knowledge, as long as one reached the realm of 'knowledge', it was essentially the same.
Whether it was walking with peace, learning with benefits, or walking with reluctance, as long as one did it, it was essentially the same.
In the Doctrine of the Mean, the three actions originally referred to learning, harvesting, and practicing the 'Five Paths': the Path of Monarch and Minister, the Path of Father and Son, the Path of Husband and Wife, the Path of Brothers and Brothers, and the 'Three Virtues' of Wisdom, Benevolence, and Courage. However, it could be extended to learn everything, practice everything, understand everything, and complete everything.
The three actions originated from Confucius. Confucius originally said that one was born with knowledge, learned with knowledge, and 'trapped with knowledge'. Trapped with knowledge meant to learn when encountering difficulties. In Confucius's opinion, even if one could not learn, as long as one learned, one could accept it. It was only slightly worse than him.
After Zi Si finished talking about the Three Knowledges and Three Actions, she ended. Confucius also said that if one was "trapped and did not learn", then they would be the lowest class of people. This was a rare demeaning remark from Kong Sheng.
Kong Sheng differentiated between a gentleman and a vile person, an adult and a vile person, and a scholar and a commoner. This was strictly based on 'etiquette' and did not have any intention of discrimination. However, when he talked about those who were 'trapped with knowledge', his tone was obviously filled with personal feelings as he criticized such behavior.
The reason why all the great scholars were silent was because after Zong Wenxiong said that Fang Yun was born with knowledge, they all felt that they were 'trapped with knowledge' as the gap between them was too big.
After a moment, Zong Wenxiong couldn't help but ask, "Fang Xusheng, how far have you gone with your notes? When did you finish writing the book? "
The rest of the great scholars didn't want Fang Yun to reveal his strength, but they all hoped that Fang Yun would say it.
"One more step and we will arrive at the Gods Bestow Mountain and Sea." Fang Yun smiled and changed the topic.
